after some serious recursive thinking it now actually makes sense
The key was to change the actual type of the class that the meta_class manages
For objects it's (still) ok just to change the instance_type, but since the class object exists and has type, when adding instance variables, that actual type has to change
Since some weeks, Parfait uses instance variables instead of generated attribute getters (that needed type)
This makes it possible to simplify the boot process, getting rid of separate boot Space and class versions.
It is still quite order dependent, but all "normal" ruby code, (less magic) so easier to understand.
Also moved all code that can never run at runtime into the adapter. This included Space and Object new, space as the space will only ever be created at compile time and object, since that is quite different at run-time (which is where i am working towards)
as they are just the type of the meta_class, that was relatively simple.
I feel this is what oo is meant to be, instance variables and methods for the objects, and since classes are objects, for them too.
Class variables seem like a design mistake, weird scoping rules and no data hiding (left as an exercise to the reader)
args and locals got inlined into message, forgot to delete then
ripples out due to type creation
small type class api change, more ripples, but also more consistent
so we can get rid of brittle risc folder tests
All of those tests rely on many many implementation details
should just test result through interpreter, no chain.
so many relied (implicitly( on some builtin function
after all can't do much in ruby without calling
Now all those dependencies are explicit
Small risc changes come because the macro version has a return label and unreachable label
the "old" way of generating compilers is now obsolete
we can use ruby code with mom macros to achieve the same
Three step wip
remove old builtin
fix tests (including adding necessary methods)
fixup and inclusion of builtin code to parfait
was using exit, since raise is not implemented. This was ambiguous as all programs exit.
Using :died as special kernel code and bending it, and reporting it in interpreter.
